Sweet... the App Store is open while we wait for v2.0 firmware to go live (should be any moment now!).

For those of us (and those of you who WILL be caving on this new phone) with these devices should have a place to chat about applications.

I'm finding lots of free ones such as AIM and this really neat Google Application that I'll get some screenshots of. The games look bad F'n ass too!

Even though the iPhone 3G isn't capable of turn by turn navigation via its AGPS, TeleNav will soon fix that for us with an official Application:

Though it's not among the 522 awesome apps launching today, TeleNav will soon fill a pretty big hole by providing a turn-by-turn in-car GPS navigator app for the iPhone 3G, as we speculated. TeleNav confirmed to us today that its app will include full-color 3D moving maps and the turn-by-turn voice guidance and traffic-aware routing the iPhone Maps program itself is missing. TeleNav already makes decent GPS nav software for Sprint and AT&T phones, way better than Verizon's VZ Navigator. No word on price, but the good news is, it'd have to be available through the App Store, not as a subscription thing from AT&T.

Craig (and others), check out this video. It demonstrates a lot of apps you can get on the iPhone. Some he paid for, but it looks like most he didn't. It's looks really really awesome, until the end of the video...

it really is like an entirely new phone with 2.0 and the App Store. The rotary dial is pimp

I also like the weather bug and the texas holdem. Oh and the lightsaber is fun too :-D

Def. Craig.

I also thought the game he showed was awesome and the music stuff (pandora and such) was FRAKING AWESOME.

Pandora is another great one. Tons of downloads and its got a perfect 5 star rating I believe as well.

Allow me to take a minute to hate you and all other iPhone (and all its incarnations) users...

There...
